So, I boosted two things earlier and I wanted to add some thoughts. These toots brought into focus a lot of the feelings I've had of recent: modern computers are too hard. Have you tried to write Vulkan code? It's insane, how is anyone supposed to understand that. The frameworks have abstracted […]

@riverpunk For newer versions of applications, using something like a Flatpack is better overall. For things like Python and other programming tools I recommend something like asdf or mise to manage those more easily. You can also add the testing repos to your Debian config and "opt in" packages […]

@riverpunk Hello, Arch and Debian user here. Flatpaks are a way for some complex software to be distributed (usually by the authors) in a "platform agnostic" way. For example: FreeCAD is easier to run via a Flatpak for the latest version on most distros than via OS packages. It also means they […]

I reached out to PCBway service and got the following response: "Actually Boranqi is authorized by PCBWay to develop business in USA, you can rest assured." so I guess it is legit, just a very strange way of promoting it.

Got a strange email today from a company called Boranqi claiming to be some sort of US aggregator/gateway to PCBway. I don't trust it at all since they don't appear on any LinkedIn searches, and this feels like a complete scam. Does anyone else on the fediverse have additional information about […]

The infowars gay frog, in it's shipping package with a note atop which reads "Instructions : Free the frog from their (consentual) plastic bondage. Release them into the warm, safe environment you've created. Massage their entire body until engorged and plump. Enjoy hours of play and mutual enjoyment. Enjoy the stickers"

It seems like all these OMG HACKED BY AI stories are coming down to trusting user input with sanitization and complete lack of data/code separation. Are these all just way overblown marketing stunts? Am I loosing my mind here? I feel like I'm missing something otherwise.

I've got a Framework RISC-V motherboard on order (K3 based, very excited) and man I wish I could get a Framework 13 Pro chassis to put it in but supply chains are a mess and I doubt it will arrive before the board does 😭 (But I'm probably going to try and order an AMD one in the end)
